Tall palms line a pale walkway through a manicured garden, with low flower beds and shrubs edging the path. A lamp post and a stone wall stand among the trees at left, and the sky fades from blue to orange behind the crowns. The setting suggests a subtropical public garden or resort avenue in Florida; Palatka, on the St. Johns River, was a winter destination where palm plantings were part of the town's character.
